There are just so many beautiful natural treasures one can embrace in a month. After hiking dozens of mountains, relaxing under countless palm trees and biking miles of trails… there becomes a time to break from the natural wonders of the south, and reach out to human tourist hot spots.

It’s tourist time!

In the southern bits of the US, there are so many classic tourist destinations and even more hidden gems that can be discovered off the beaten paths.
